Bringing Peace, While Receiving Help

"Casa Paz" translated into English means "Peace House." This house of peace is part of the Transitional Housing Program. Casa Paz is fully-certified through the Department of Health as a Community Residential Facility (CRF). There are three treatment services: residential, transitional, and outpatient.

Residential Treatment Program Goal and Philosophy
The goal of the Residential Housing Program is to provide a stable foundation upon which residents can build healthy and productive lifestyles.

Neighbors' Consejo's model draws upon the philosophy that residents who live, study, and work together are more likely to draw support and help from one another through the recovery process.

Inpatient and Timeframe:
Casa Paz is the first step of recovery for our clients. Once clients are accepted into the program, they become a resident of Casa Paz. The program requires all residents to attend rehabilitative therapy, A.A. group meetings, and individual counseling sessions. Neighbors' Consejo supports each resident and offers ongoing management services.

During the program's period of 3-6 months (depending on the need of the client), residents receive a wide range of supportive services. These include mental health counseling and treatment, substance abuse life skills, vocational course training, employment services, and ongoing case management.

By the end of our program, many of our residents become stable employees, maintain a savings account, and become dependable for real progress toward independence. We highly encourage entrepreneurship, through the Food Handler Program. However, for those who need continuous assistance, they can participate in our Level Two Transitional Treatment Program, Casa Libertad.
